Retinoic acid (RA) and bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) restore the germline competence of in vitro cultured chicken blastodermal cells.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Chicken blastodermal cells (BCs) are pluripotent stem cells derived from early embryos and may be easily obtained and manipulated. However, in vitro cultured BCs have extremely low germline capacity, which may limit their applications. Research on the germ cell differentiation of mammalian pluripotent cells using chemical-inducing agents has gained popularity, and tremendous achievements have been made. Whether chemical-inducing agents allow acquirement of germline competence in BCs is, however, questionable. In this study, retinoic acid (RA) and bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) promoted the expression of germline-specific genes and restored the germline competence of in vitro cultured BCs. Moreover, BCs induced with RA and BMP4 could efficiently produce gonadal chimeric chick embryos. These results may greatly enhance the potential applications of BCs in biotechnology and basic research.
